Honda Vezel Engine Oil change

[adeelkhoja50]

Hello Everyone,
I’ve bought Honda vezel 2016 model 53k kms done
As it is my first hybrid car I am a bit confused about the engine oil which engine oil should I use in it?

IMO, 0w-20 or at max. 5w-20 seems to be the most suitable engine oil grade for your car.

Just ensure that oil is fully synthetic, from some reputed brand, and 100% genuine and original / authentic.

0w-20: Choose any of Shell, Total or Caltex / Havoline.

5w-20: Choose any of Shell or ZIC.

Go for amsoil 0w20 signature series. I am currently using in my vezel.

Don't go for amsoil or some other high mileage bullshit, It's not suitable for Pakistan because of low quality fuel, oil filters etc. Just go for any well reputable brand like Zic, Caltex or Total and change your oil at 4-5k. Using Zic 5w 20 in my car from past few years and I'm satisfied.

It's not suitable for Pakistan because of low quality fuel

I believe low fuel quality is not the issue / culprit. The major deciding factor is the engine cc, quantity of engine oil sump, and to some extent; design / type / quality of oil filter.

Based on my understanding of these things; Some filters can last 10~15,000 Kms (depending on make / model of the vehicle) or even more, and some only last 5~7,000 Kms, as they are designed this way (even OEMs too) and purpose is only this.

To further explain, in case of Japanese makes / models, which are abundantly available in our local markets, it is usually recommended to change oil + oil filter after every 5,000 Kms / 06 months, whichever comes 1st (And this is mentioned in their owners / users manuals too).

And there is a reason for this:

[anon35615524]

These cars come in economy / budget categories, with engine oil sumps ranging from, generally speaking, 2.5~4.5L capacities (for 660cc to 2500~3000 cc engines, just a rough idea). These are not big, luxury vehicles or full size Sedans, having engine oil sumps from 8 to 13L capacities, and engine cc from 4000~8000 cc, or even more.

In such vehicles, drain interval can be from 10~15,000 Kms, and OEM can say to simply top-up in between, if oil level drops (their oil filters are also designed in ways to last 10~15,000 Kms easily).

But applying the same philosophy on a 660 cc engine car; with oil sump capacity of merely 2.2~2.6L (depending), I can only pray.

Even if the oil filter is designed to last 10,000 Kms, engine oil can start deteriorating after 5,000 Kms, as it cannot take that much beating.

[anon35615524]

In large oil sumps, surface area is more, capacity is more, engine oil gets cooled quickly and easily. In small oil sumps, this can't be true.

So as suggested by you; its best to follow OEM recommendations, and change oil + oil filter as per recomendations mentioned in the owners / users manuals.

Just go for any well reputable brand like Zic, Caltex or Total and change your oil at 4-5k.

Totally Agreed!

In case of Vezel (with merely ~1500 cc engine), I think 5,000 Kms / 06 months (whichever comes 1st) would be best suited, and no need to use expensive and fancy, imported engine oils and oil filters.

Using Zic 5w 20 in my car from past few years and I'm satisfied.

I myslef have been using ZIC A+ 5w-20 in my previous rides, and was very satisfied.

I believe car is not something which deserves your money, and additional expenses. Its your family, which should be your top priority, when it comes to spending money!
